Through the renewed agreement, WSP will continue providing a broad range of technical and consultancy services across transport policy, traffic management, UTMC signals, highways maintenance and reconstruction, highway structures, street lighting, civil engineering design, geotechnical services, flood risk management and wider engineering support.
Past projects delivered through the partnership include the replacement of the Regent Street Flyover, active travel and public realm improvements at locations such as the Corn Exchange, and upgrades to facilities like the Stourton Park and Ride. The partnership has also supported Council statutory functions, including specialist secondments and the delivery of essential duties such as routine bridge inspections.
Over the coming years, the partnership will focus on helping the Council to deliver its Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy, providing safe, resilient and efficient transport networks that enable Leeds’ growth, improve connectivity and support community wellbeing. The work will draw on WSP’s local presence and multidisciplinary expertise, as well as decades of shared experience working alongside the Council’s teams.
